I’m coming late to Harlan Coben’s Myron Bolitar series, and I am very much enjoying it. His Myron Bolitar is a complex, fascinating protagonist with strengths and weaknesses, wit and humor, and, most of all, a heart. I’m now several books into the series and can’t recommend it highly enough.
This is the first in Harlan Coben’s series. It sets the stage, and we get to meet his witty, gritty characters. It’s action-packed with lots of plot twists.
Harlan Coben never disappoints
I was in love with the Myron Bolitar series from the first book. The series is fascinating look into sports and how it shapes and affects a person when that talent is taken away by a career-ending injury. Myron Bolitar, the main character, is a smart, charming guy surrounded by a group of quirky friends. I love the interplay between them and the …
Good start on a new series. Ready to start the next book.
Can’t go wrong with Coben
Not one of my favorite Myron Bolitar books, but it was ok
What’s not to like about a Myron Bolitar book???
Myron Bolitar is one of the great characters of fiction, as is his friend Win. I’ve read all the Bolitar books and would love to see more of Myron and his world.
I always enjoy trying to predict the outcome of Cobens plot.
Anything by Harlan Coben is a big hit with me. He captures my interest from the first page or two.
He takes the same people but always gives us an original story
I have enjoyed every Harlan Coben book I’ve read so far. But this was just horrible. It was just short of pornography and the language was horrendous. While I will continue to read the books not part of this series, I will not be reading any more Myron Bolitar books.
What can I say, it’s Harlen Coben! Always entertaining! This is not the first time I’ve read this book and it was just as good the second time.
Coben writes such unputdownable books. I only recently began reading him and I am wild about him! Thanks, Harlan for great reads!
Easy to read, witty, kept your attention
Anything by Coben is a sure thing.
Great book for the characters and the fun to read
Read it awhike back. I miss Myron, one of the great characters. Super storyline,action and flow. I highly recommend it for an entertaining read.
The kind of book I like where i can’t guess the killer
